Spring Recital 2008

Giselle

On May 23rd & 24th 2008, the Cape Cod Dance Center presented the epic ballet Giselle to the music of Adolphe Adams at the Marstons Mills East Auditorium. Students and alumnae from the dance center were joined on stage by guest dancers, Cynthia Pigeons and Guillaume Gosa, to present the ballet classic that has charmed audiences around the world for over a century.

Giselle is the crowning achievement of the romantic era of ballet, and the most poetic of all nineteenth-century full-length works. Giselle tells the tale of young women who died before their wedding day but whose love of dancing keeps them from eternal rest.

Spring Recital 2007

Chopin’s
Les Sylphides

Les Sylphides is famous as the first "abstract" classical ballet without a narrative structure or defined characters. Les Sylphides is composed of a suite of dances in the romantic atmosphere of a moonlit park. The sylphides, (magical figures, half woman, half ghost), dance in search of the ideal. The corps de ballet is on stage almost throughout, used in decorative groups when not actually dancing. The ballet is in the repertory of nearly every company in the world offering a great challenge for the dancers at level 5 & 6 and surely a delight for our audience.
Only students from ballet 5 & 6 will participate in this ballet.
